This guide, published by The Capacity Project, presents Learning for Performance, a systematic instructional design process that is targeted to fix a performance problem or gap when workers lack the essential skills and knowledge for a specific job responsibility, competency or task.
The first section of this guide introduces the Learning for Performance process and explains its benefits. The section also contains descriptions of three areas of work that are fundamental to the process: performance improvement, instructional design and human resources for health.
The second section provides detailed instructions to lead curriculum developers through each step in the Learning for Performance process and incorporates a set of worksheets, each with abbreviated instructions, which should be used with the process.
While this guidance was created primarily to facilitate the work of individuals and teams who are developing or strengthening education or training programmes as a component of performance improvement or human resources for health programmes, the authors note that it can also be used to teach the Learning for Performance process.
The guide is available in English, French and Spanish.
